Pirates Ii Full Movie Free Download |LINK|

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese anti-virus company has warned against free downloads of Ang Lee's steamy spy thriller, "Lust, Caution", saying several hundred sites offering the service were embedded with viruses.

"People should be wary of Web sites that offer free downloading services because their personal passwords can be stolen," Li Ting, of Rising International Software Co. Ltd., told Reuters. (((Plus film comes with added identity-theft!)))

No longer looking to represent only the underbelly of Internet movie-watching, BitTorrent wants to push aside illegal and free downloads and invite major media companies to use its technology to generate sales.

On the other hand, we have the digital libertarians who think imposing any sort of copying restriction on media is an infringement of basic human rights, a curtailment on the spread of art and ideas which should be accessible to everyone; to legislate against the downloaders is simply is criminalise innocent youth. They will tell you that allowing media to flow freely is actually of benefit to producers, it is just a form of marketing. Anyway, the world of free downloading is impossible to police so it is foolish to try.

Simply guilt-tripping downloaders is not going to work; yes, fans may feel loyalty to certain artists and be prepared to support them directly, but a strategy that expects a teenager in his or her bedroom to feel guilty for downloading an episode of Game of Thrones, in a world where grossly rich celebrities are flaunt their bling and corporate tax evaders and deviant bankers go free, is doomed from the start.

The industry has been fighting the battle wherever it can: in the courts and college dean's offices, with computer manufacturers, and even in people's personal instant messages. Arrayed against it are not only the pirates, but a wide variety of voices in support of keeping the Internet free. For these companies, the stakes are simply too high to shrug off: The music industry estimates it loses some $3 billion annually to piracy.

Even consumers who don't know a Gnutella from a Kazaa and have never downloaded anything are not safe from the industry's counterattacks. Throughout this month, high-profile actors such as Ben Affleck and Cameron Diaz will headline public service announcements shown in local movie theaters, pleading with moviegoers not to steal from movie industry employees by downloading movies for free.

Given the public's keen awareness of movie stars' multimillion-dollar salaries, this last tactic might backfire, says Drew Borst, an industry analyst with Bernstein & Co in New York. Public attitudes toward the entertainment industry as a whole are crucial in winning support for curbs on digital piracy. For example, when Madonna scolded downloaders on her just-released album, a hacker promptly attacked her website, creating free, downloadable copies of every song.

In summary, the idea that piracy has zero impact on commerce is silly; if you give things out for free, that is going to have an impact on the market for competing goods. The idea that non-free competing services can motivate pirates to stop even casual pirates is not realistic; people who casually pirate are usually doing it because of price, as demonstrated by the massive amount of games pirating still on-going despite the existence of Steam, or the massive music piracy ongoing despite alternatives like iTunes and Amazon. The idea that legislation cannot possibly work has not been shown; indeed, looking at the history of the effects of legislation on similar kinds of freeloading shows that increasing the risk of relatively large financial sanctions has a very direct and very elastic effect on the freeloading behavior.

Piracy is different. There is already a supply of the product freely available at uninflated market rates. Nobody is trying to choke off your supply of Spiderman 2 or Skyrim. Drastically reducing piracy is a much simpler legislative task than eliminating drugs; you simply go after the advertisers who support pirate-based websites, the pirate websites themselves, and make sure to from time to time make an example of one of the downloaders themselves (which creates a fear-based incentive to not pirate). Since there is a parallel supply chain (i.e., the legitimate sales of the product), demand for pirated goods should decrease rather elastically as the risk of consuming and distributing such goods is increased. Whether lawmakers will go down this road or not remains to be seen, but right now all signs point to yes.

Once information is digitized, the costs of replication and distribution are close to nil. This means the open market value of a digital copy of a movie also becomes pretty close to nil. The purpose of digitizing data is easier (and cheaper) copying, storing, processing, and distribution. Welcome, big media, and Ryan, to the free market in the information age.

Bathgate was a hit domestically and internationally. He toured Europe, was a two-time Starbucks Pick of the Week (where the franchise offered little cards at the checkout with free downloads of music singles), and helped turn Quite Scientific into a living, breathing thing. 2b1af7f3a8
